Is he covering the pogbathon?New events at the Rio Olympics. Fastest out of a shithouse window, extreme gurning and most shit talked on a single breath.
Me too. I think it's a combination of the general stench of corruption around world sports bodies like the IOC and FIFA, drug-taking, the increasing commercialisation of the games, the inclusion of professional sports and contestants that just don't belong there.I cant think of any Olympics in my 52, years that I have been so underwhelmed about, it does not appear to have been promoted at all, I was genuinely surprised when I realised it was the opening ceremony this Friday.

Yep.Me too. I think it's a combination of the general stench of corruption around world sports bodies like the IOC and FIFA, drug-taking, the increasing commercialisation of the games, the inclusion of professional sports and contestants that just don't belong there.
The people didn't want it due to the precarious economy but got it anyway with some of the speakers allegedly given bungs.
Yep.Same could be said of the London Olympics. Plenty of people didn't want those games either. It's nothing new.
I was one of them. Still not sure what legacy it has. The desperation to get the Olympic stadium used on a regular basis led to West Ham getting the steal of the century. In that respect I don't blame them for taking it.

My interest in athletics, swimming (synchronised or otherwise), gymnastics, rifle shooting and all other olympic sports remains at zero during and between the games.

Plans have just been unveiled for the V&A and Sadlers Wells to open venues in the Olympic Park. UCL are building a new campus there and new homes, schools and businesses are being built on the rest. Not to mention the world class swimming and cycling venues which are used all year round by both local schools and the general public.
The stadium could and should have been better planned but West Ham only have exclusive access for half the year for which they're paying rent and the taxpayer, via the stadium operators, gets a cut of everything else from the naming rights to hiring the stadium out for concerts, etc.
Fair fucks, mate. One day at a time and all that.Not really interested in it. Been tainted by drugs etc.
Hahaha!Fair fucks, mate. One day at a time and all that.
